Andean Cosmologies through Time: Persistence and Emergence
Robert V H Dover
Concerned with Andean cosmology, this book explains why Andean indigenous communities are recognizably Andean after a half-millennium of forced exposure to Western systems of thought and belief. It describes a process which integrates the accoutrements of non-Andean and other Andean influences into a given Andean community.
Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
